A whole family of Navajos have been killed by a crazy Indian. He has fled to the Tohindi cave dwellings, and the Indians are afraid to search for him there. They have come to Deputy Sheriff Roy Rogers and Pat Brady for help.

Rocco is taking some money home from the bank, and borrows Bullet to accompany him. His son has been kidnapped.

Indexer Notes

This story is similar to several Roy stories credited to the team Al McKimson, Randy Steffen, Alvarado and Andrew Bensen by Robert W Phillips. See Roy Rogers #24 Silver Spider, #25 Trades Lead, #26 Jerkline Feud, #27 Mustang Mountain, and #28 Apache Blood. The art may vary a bit since several of them worked on the same story (also by R W Phillips)
